P.FM.05.22 Demonstrate contact and non-contact forces to change the motion of an object.
METS-S/NETS-T
Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making. Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources. Collect and analyze data to identify solutions and/or make informed decisions.
Essential Questions
Does the student understand Newton's Three Laws of Gravity?
Objectives
Students will experiment on computers by exploring websites and sources to find secondary sources to use for their in class projects. Also, students will use objects given by the teacher to understand and comprehend Newton's Three Laws.
Tools and Resources
The assignment is experimental. Student will use a Toy Car, Ruler, Measuring Tape, and Textbooks.
I choose this lesson so that the student will understand how objects relate to gravity.
Methods of Instruction
This assignment will be completed in a whole group. It will be kinesthetic and visual.
Anticipatory Set
Students will use prior knowledge, background knowledge, vocabulary development, and distance learning to complete the assignment.
Beginning of Lesson
The student must be able to know, comprehend, and use Newton's Three Laws of gravity. First, he or she must understand the law of 'inertia' using devices and materials. The law states, "An object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." Here, the student must set up a ramp with a book in front of it. A toy car must be placed on the ramp and a ball must be placed in the driver's seat. Have the car run down the ramp and hit the book.
How far does the ball roll?
Use the formula to determine the force?
The student must measure the distance of the ball from the race car.
Middle of Lesson
Second, the child must experiment with Newton's second law involving force, acceleration, and mass. The student will sit on a chair and have another person push him. For every five seconds, while pushing, another student must give the child in the chair an extra book to hold.
After 45 seconds, ask the student pushing the chair, "Is the chair harder to push with the books in the students hand?"
Answer the questions using your journals?
End of Lesson
Lastly, he or she must think and draw a picture of the last law, 'every reaction has a equal and opposite reaction.' Here, the student will draw a picture of a rocket taking off into space. Use arrows to draw the direction of the rocket and its resistance into space.
Do you think that the force of the rocket fuel propelling the rocket into space is defying gravity?
These three laws will be demonstrated in an hour time frame using material supplied by the teacher.
When the assignment is completed the student can demonstrate use of the formulas and have thorough knowledge of Newton's three laws.
